No, what I actually meant was I used your technique to make the headache go away.

Sorry for any misunderstandings. 

I may have over reacted a little. I thought that meme was intended to mock me.

Thank you for clearing things up.

When I get a headache, I take a nap, drink water, take pain relieving pills, or take a shower.

 It's all good. I don't like to hurt other ponies' feelings.

I still have the headache from yesterday though. Sleeping doesn't work, medicine doesn't work, even that weird technique @Arkadios said doesn't work. 

I still go to school though. Maybe it's the stress, who knows?

Take Ibuprofen,Play some soft music and sleep in a dark room

Do they still use florescent lights in your school? Those give me headaches a lot!

Really? My school actually does! Could this be the reason why?

I think it's fairly common. Ask your doctor.

I don't get headaches. I have only had one headache in my life and it was actually a migraine. I remember just trying to sleep it off even though it hurt badly.

[Celtore 2,769]

I try to sleep it off. Even a short power nap in my chair can do wonders and make me feel better than when I first fell asleep. A nice cold cloth to the forehead or a shower can help reduce some of the pain as well without turning to medication.

I also try not to do much while I have a headache. If I'm not napping, I try to do simple passive things like watch a movie, read a book or just derp around in a relaxing video game like animal crossing. Certainly nothing like yard work or software development. (Well, unless I happen to be at work. Then I power through it or take a documentation day.)

I'd have headache more often than it shouldn't because I can't stand the sun. So I just take some advils, drinks lots of water, and suck it up. 

[DuskSong 742]

Dim my lights, take 2 to 3 ibuprofen depending on the severity, and keep my atmosphere quiet until it subsides.

[Nsxile 25,732]

I take some paracetamol.

[EpicEnergy 22,173]

I take Ibuprofen and lay in bed when I have a bad headache.

[Treeglow Flicker 13,047]

Keep my head very very still and sleep it off.

[Rainbow Cloud 16,888]

Try to endure it but if that fails I'll take some paracetamol.

[Splashee 28,537]

Ibuprofen takes care of my headaches, but I usually try to live with the pain for a while to see if it passes by itself.

[applesjck 5,601]

I either nap the headache away or just deal with it. I’m usually too lazy to actually try anything to fix it. 

[Lucky Bolt 34,915]

I just take some ibuprofen and continue about my day.

[Troblems 5,609]

Take prescribed migraine powder, go to my room, lay in the dark, and whine. It’s a very dramatic process.

[Emerald Heart 24,598]

I suck it up and deal with it, most of the time. But if it's SUPER bad, then I'll take two pills of pain medication (or "headache potion" which is what me and my parents call it).

[TheRockARooster 47,495]

Take a couple of Panadol or other tablets and lay down for a while.

[Oblivion 20,265]

You mean like right now? I mean I need to get some ibuprofen but Gahhh my neck and head hurts so bad right now! 

[Odyssey 5,713]

Whine and complain about how my headache hurts. And take some medicine and sleep, I guess. 

[Kamii 594]

More often than not, I take medicine for it as soon as it arrives. My experiences have proven headaches get worse before they get better and they render me almost completely useless, so may as well get rid of it before it gets worse. Oh! And I try to lower lights and that sort of thing when they're migraines.
